Angela attended a classical music concert the previous night where she heard Vivaldi performed by an orchestra that she thought was fantastic. However, the people sitting behind her were constantly chatting through the performance, which annoyed Angela. When her friend Chloe asked how the concert was, Angela said she enjoyed the music but that the people behind her were talking. Angela turned around a few times to glare at them but it did not make a difference and they continued talking regardless. Angela felt that people who talk through concerts should not be allowed to attend.
